Analysis of Factors Influencing the Development of Global Security Video Surveillance Industry in 2014

With the continuous occurrence of global terrorism and sabotage activities, the turbulent situation in some parts of the world, and the increasing security risks faced by various organizations, including terrorist attacks,


1、 Favorable factors

(1) Market demand continues to grow

With the continuous occurrence of global terrorism and sabotage activities, the turbulent situation in some parts of the world, and the increasing security risks faced by various organizations, including terrorist attacks, organized crime, violent incidents, theft gangs, and sabotage activities, security issues are gradually being taken seriously globally, and security awareness is gradually increasing. Whether in developed or developing countries, strengthening security awareness and improving social management level have become the needs of social development. The global demand for security products is gradually increasing, and the market capacity of the global security industry is continuing to grow. Especially for emerging economies such as China, Asia, the Middle East, and Central and South America that are accelerating transformation, the security video surveillance market is facing rapid growth.

(2) National industrial policy support

Security video surveillance products are electronic information products that belong to high-tech industries and strategic emerging industries encouraged by the country. The country has prioritized their development as an encouraged project and formulated a series of supportive policies. During the 12th Five Year Plan period, the comprehensive promotion of large-scale projects such as the "Science and Technology Strong Police" strategy, the "3111 Pilot Project", the "Safe City", the "Smart City", and the "Intelligent Transportation", as well as the emphasis on strengthening the construction of the social security prevention and control system by governments at all levels and relevant departments, have also provided a favorable policy environment for the development of China's security industry. The China Security and Prevention Products Industry Association has also released the "12th Five Year Plan for the Development of China's Security Industry", and put forward comprehensive and specific suggestions on security enterprise management, technological innovation, industry self-discipline management, and other issues, guiding the development of the domestic security industry.

(3) Technological upgrading and innovation

Security video surveillance products and technologies are showing a development trend of "digitalization, high-definition, networking, and intelligence". The development of technological changes and product upgrades will drive the growth of the video surveillance market, further increase market demand, expand market capacity, and strengthen the penetration of the security market.

(4) Industry standards are becoming increasingly standardized

With the development of the video surveillance market, industry standards for video surveillance are becoming increasingly standardized. The international standard organizations ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) were established in 2008, followed by the HDCCTV Alliance in 2009. The three major standard organizations ONVIF, PSIA, and HDCCTV have a growing influence in the security industry, and standardization is of great significance in promoting the development of the video surveillance industry. On the other hand, the National Security and Alarm System Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC100) has completed more than 100 current national and industry standards, such as "Digital Video Recording Equipment for Video Security Surveillance", which involve multiple professional technical fields such as intrusion and robbery alarm, video surveillance, entrance and exit control, physical protection, explosion-proof security inspection, security engineering, etc. In addition, there have been positive developments in product and engineering testing, certification business, and industry standards, certification, and testing work are gradually moving towards institutionalization and standardization. Overall, the release and increasing standardization of industry standards will contribute to the healthy and rapid development of the security video surveillance industry.

2、 Adverse factors

(1) Constraints on upstream industries

The design and manufacturing of core components such as encoding and decoding chips and sensor chips for security video surveillance products mainly focus on HiSilicon Semiconductor TI、 A few domestic and foreign integrated circuit design manufacturers such as Anba, SONY, PANASONIC, and security video surveillance equipment manufacturing enterprises may face risks of chip cost and profit fluctuations. For some processing and manufacturing enterprises that lack core technologies, they will face greater production pressure, which is not conducive to the development and growth of the industry.

(2) Market competition is further intensifying

On the one hand, giant companies in industries such as home appliances, telecommunications, and IT have also entered the security industry in recent years due to their optimism about the development momentum and prospects of the industry, bringing significant competitive pressure to industry enterprises; On the other hand, European and American security companies rely on their technological and capital advantages to seize emerging markets such as China. China's leading video surveillance equipment suppliers also have the strength to participate in international competition in some fields. Both types of enterprises have positive competition in the Chinese and international markets, and the overall competition in the industry is becoming increasingly fierce.

(3) Restrictions imposed by different management methods or policies in various countries

On the one hand, with the increasing attention to security issues globally, security awareness is gradually improving; On the other hand, due to the characteristics of the security industry itself, the application of security products and systems involves national public safety, social security, and other aspects. Many countries and regions around the world have gradually introduced relevant product quality certification systems, management methods, or admission policies for security video surveillance products. Some outdated management methods and policies may limit and restrict the development of the industry.
